Summary
I am interested in the population biology of plants. I work on local adaptation and rapid evolution of native and invasive species, and am interested in how genetic variation (below the species level) affects the distribution and abundance of species. w88 casinoI also work with plant-animal interactions, and am currently interested in how nutrients and herbivory interact to affect competitive relationships between plants.
In addition to my work on plant population biology, I do projects that gather basic ecological data about rare species, natural communities, and invasive species control, providing information that is necessary w88 online casinoto make appropriate management and restoration decisions.
